Thanks for all the comments, the exhaust isn't changing it was off my other XE and sounds nice doesn't look great but lets face it the cars purple.

as for the wheels they are vw golf mk2 g60 steelies bought them brand new. (15x6j ET35) i'm using 195/4515 V Proxies T1R's which so far i rate high.

Thanks for a the comments made it worth while, lol i will keep you updated if it changes much lol

wicked will have to let u know when im next in swindon, or mayb even pop up on thursday after work, what time would it all be there till?

got it running today, schoolboy error really, didnt start yesterday because...to what we found today...that we had accidentilly pulled the coil out of the starting motor when bolting the live onto it from underneath, so swapped for another one off my old engine, and sorted, shes running

quite proud tho, 1st engine swap i've done, although was the same engine as before lol
